THE GERMAN VOTE.

Sim Coy is reported to have said: 'there is
no trouble about the German vote-Pll bring
them into camp solid" This is the boast of
a boss who has unbounded faith in corrupt
methods and none whatever in honest motives
or good citizenship. Coy insin yates and prob
ably believes that the Germans will all vote
with him on account of the temperance ques-
ton. He assumes, first that all Germans place
beer above everything else. and second, that in
order to make sure of their beer they must
vote for his wide-open policy. The assump-
ton is an insult to the Germans. 1t implies
that they have no other interest in politics
but beer, and that in order to get that they
will vote for him and his gang, with their
tally-sheet forging record and other crimes
thick upon them. Again we say, the assump-
ton is an insult to the Germans. They may
like beer-that is a national or an individual
taste with which we have nothing to do. But
they are not all patrons of saloons, much less
of all-night and Sunday saloons, and very
large number of them see something in poll
tics besides free whisky. It is neither true,

The chief reason for the defeat of the Ten
nessee prohibitory amendment probably lies
in the fact that under the existing law prohi-
bition prevails over at least three-fonrths of
the State. This is not local-option meas
ure, but is known as the sfour mile law" the
sale of liquor being forbidden within four
miles of any school-house. It's provisions are
strictly enforced, and double good is worked,
through the organization Of schools where
none existed before. The operation of this
law has been SO satisfactory to majority of
the citizens that they have felt an Indifference
to the amendment, and have evidently pre-
ferred to let we'll enough alone.

ments which the country can boast of, and
which surprise by their vigor both ourselves
and Foreigners"
A strong argument is made in favor of pub
lie instruction, and the school system is
shown to be improving. In 1886, 1904 pri-
mary public schools and GIL private ones were
in working order, making total of 9, Ais.
with 160.768 pupils and 5,34S teachers.
These figures look small beside ours but they
show a good beginning. Buenos Ayres has
ffty-four school buildings, forty of which, &C
commodating %, 900 children, were opened
last year. There are twenty-seven normal
schools in operation, which last
year graduated two hundred teachers
of both sexes. The army, navy and
judicial system are each discussed in their
place, many minor interests. The en-
tire message is statesmanlike in tone and
shows on the part of the President a due
sense of Responsibility to the people and APP
probation of the prosperous future unfolding
before the country. The United States might
find noble and useful mission in helping the
Argentine Republic along the path of free
government, and at the same time find
large profit in developing closer trade rela-

WE cannot conceive of any reason why any
Republican should not vote for Denny for
Mayor, and we trust there is none; but if
there be we advise him to vote for Davy the
Labor candidate, who is not only an honest
and respectable man, but represents honest
and respectable principles and has an honest
and respectable following. On the other
hand, if there is workingman in the CITY,
who for any reason is disinclined to vote for
Davy we would urge him to vote for Denny,
who in this contest does beyond doubt rep
resent the interests of the workingmen as he
does of all honest. law-abiding and conserva-
tive citizens. Workingmen, in common with
all such, are interested in fair and honest
elections, in good government, in the enforce
ment of law, in the suppression and punish
ment of crime, in low taxes, and in an honest
and conservative administration of affairs.
We have no reason to doubt that Mr. Davy
represents these ideas, but we do not think he
can be elected. Would it not be wise, then,
for workingmen to vote for Denny, and thus
assist in defeating the Coy gang and the Coy
candidate, who represent ideas and methods
dangerous to the peace and welfare Of society
and to the prosperity of the city.

DIR. Edenharter on personal grounds amount
to nothing in face of the fact that he was
nominated by Coy, and is the willing repre-
sentative of the Coy gang. In this contest
Edenharter stands for Coy and Coy for Eden
harter. They are working together to COM
mon end viz: the election of Edenharter, the
vindication of Coy, and the triumph OF the
gang Dr. Edenharter may be the amlaole
and harmless young man that his friends
claim he is. but he represents gang that Is
neither amiable nor harmless. The voter
should look beyond the man to the principles
and ideas he represents, and to the dangerous
following massed behind him.

patriotism of Indiana, and the great names of
men who distinguished themselves in connec-

The Presidents reception being past, some
comments can be made that could not well be
pending the event. The proprieties of the
occasion do not any longer forbid reason
ably free expression of opinion. The Journal
did its part in helping to secure for the Presi-
dent such reception and welcome as were
due to the office, and having done its duty In
this regard, it feels free to criticise the per-
formance First, we remark that the arrange
ment throughout was characterized by ILL
concealed partisanism. Republicans tried to
make it non-partisan, but Democrats, and
especially the Democratic managers, did
not. The grand marshal Repub-
lican, because there is not a Democrat
procession. For the rest the non-partisan
business was all On one side. Ex-senator
Harrison was not invited to participate till
the last moment. Judge Woods was not
invited at ala punishment, probably, for his
charge in the conspiracy case. The soldier
and sailors monument commission were not
invited-a slap at the old soldiers. And the
same undertow of Democratic partisanism
ran through the whole management. AS for
the factional fights and personal jealousies
that cropped out here and there, we say moth
ing. They are not our funeral.
The Presidents speeches here and at Terre
Haute were models OF common placeness.
Aside from few dry remarks concerning the
early history and growth of the city, the only
point he made here was labored eulogy of
the late Mr.. Hendricks, and at Terre' Haute
he tried to tickle their local pride by referring
to the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash" as one
of the most remarkable productions of the
State. There was nothing of a particularly
bipartisan" nature in these references.
While the President was descanting on the
growth of Indianapolis, and referring to Sem
ator Voorhees, as the greatest product of the
State, he might have made, at least, passing
allusion to the fact that Indiana great
in war as she is in peace, and that she sent
over 200, 900 soldiers to do battle for the
Union. But that might have been partisan
ISM" while the eulogy of dead and living
Democrats was not. The visit was doubtless
expected to add to the personal strength of
Mr.. Cleveland and make capital for the party
in this State, and both were to be done under
the guise of ''non-partisan" reception. We
are quite sure neither result was accom-
plished.
